Two families, two continents, and a century of history are the foundations for "Taffy." Sara, the belle of her sweet sixteen ball, is caught in the chaos of the American Civil War. She escapes to Texas with the aid of two Confederate soldiers and then to California in the company of a freed slave. Puck, Sara's son, survives the 1906 San Francisco earthquake when he flees to Los Angeles with his friend, Tricky, where they join the circus. At the same time, Nikolai is orphaned by the Cossacks. He crosses Russia and meets his bride-to-be, Viktorya. They travel to the United States and eventually settle in Los Angeles where Nick acts in silent movies. Puck's son, Taffy, meets Nick's son David on a battlefield in Korea. They reunite in Los Angeles at David's family orchards. The devilishly handsome Taffy has no control over the females he attracts. Consequences happen.
